Re: Ferrules with Weidmuller Connectors on PCM/VRM/roboRio

We also had mixed results. The ferule connectors worked GREAT in the PCM and the VRM but did not work well at all in the PDP. Even with the crimping process creating ridges that the Weidmuller connector could grab we found connections pulling from the PDP often. We ended up leaving the ferule connector on items connected to the PCM and VRM and tinning the ends of stra
nded wires going to the PDP in order to keep them in place.
